Apple Inc. plans to begin mass producing a new iPhone by the end of 2010 that would allow Verizon Wireless to sell the smartphone early next year, said people briefed by Apple.
The new iPhone would be similar in design to the iPhone 4 currently sold by AT&T Inc. but would be based on an alternative wireless technology called CDMA used by Verizon, these people said. The phone, for which Qualcomm Inc. is providing a key chip, is expected to be released in the first quarter of next year, according to the same people.
An Apple CDMA iPhone would spell the end of the exclusive U.S. arrangement with Apple that AT&T has had since 2007, when the original iPhone debuted.

Why do people get so excited over the iphone its no different from any other smartphone why all the hype
This is not for sure. To quote from wikipedia,
“There has been ongoing speculation in the United States that Apple may offer a CDMA-compatible iPhone for Verizon Wireless. This speculation increased on October 6, 2010, when The Wall Street Journal reported that Apple would begin producing a CDMA-compatible iPhone, with such a model going on sale in early 2011. However, this does not necessarily indicate that Verizon would be selling the iPhone in 2011, as several foreign countries, particularly China, also use CDMA networks. With the iPad having a data plan offered exclusively through AT&T, an iPhone offered by Verizon Wireless (which is partially owned by Vodafone, which offers the iPhone overseas) still might not happen until at least 2012, when both Verizon Wireless and AT&T will begin installing the 4G LTE network, which will be the universal global standard for mobile phone carriers.
#1 – matziv chapper – CDMA is compatible with Verizon and Sprint.
#2 – brisker35 – While it’s true that there is much hype surrounding the iPhone, it’s not overrated. The iPhone revolutionized mobile programming and introduced the world to the concept of the “App Store” as we know it.
#3 – wtby – True, this is just speculation, but once the WSJ published something, that means that there”fire, not huts smoke”.
YWEditor – I noticed a lot more tech stories the last few days. Not complaining, but what changed? 😉
Everyone else – have you downloaded AND RATED the YW Radio app on the App Store?
